It's not January yet! Maybe I'll diet between now and then...

[–] supercriticalcheese 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did that as well, diet of mostly cheese though

[–] OrteilGenou 6 points 1 year ago

That's confusing

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been dieting for 3 weeks since Christmas

[–] Buffaloaf 5 points 1 year ago

Same. Not a healthy diet, but a diet none the less.

Unless you hate Christmas, then it's a sudden bucket of suck, then a release back into those lovely routines and coping mechanisms.

Hmm. I might be a little broken though. Don't be like me, enjoy your Christmasses!

Edit: Actually, it's not so sudden, it's between a 3 and 12 month to Christmas each year, depending on your age/ access to advertising.

Who doesn't enjoy our annual, third of a year long Christmas-gasm!?

No don't answer that, I know what you mean:-P.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

sounds like northeastern United States. As soon as I had enough money I moved to the tropics. No more gloomy 6 months every year. I couldn't bear it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Northeastern USA is extremely cold compared to temperate Europe.

Though that is nothing compared to north midwestern states, brrr... did you know that at some point, the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales converge? :-P

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 2 points 1 year ago

I took your fun fact to a search engine and learned something new today 😄

The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales converge at -40°.

The formula used to convert Celsius(C) into Fahrenheit(F) is: F = 9 5 × C + 32.

Funny thing is in our temperate zone the whole festive christmas time is in autumn and christmas itself is at the beginning of winter. Why not move christmas to end of February or so?

I don't see anything about spoilers so ... Bruce Wayne is Batman.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 6 points 1 year ago

dammit you just ruined Batman for me. I swear I was gonna get around to watching it eventually.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You are the kind of guy who reads sources!!! You read the rules because I told you so? What else do you do? Eat little children??

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So... Santa still exists here?

[–] OrteilGenou 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No spoilers exist here and it's a Christmas themed post - surely Santa was the original spoiler!?

[–] OrteilGenou 2 points 1 year ago

That woooshed me pretty hard :-)

[–] GrammatonCleric 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You guys got cheese? I had to work

[–] Kase 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Somebody's gotta meet the demand

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cheese reference? Butterkase?

[–] SpaceNoodle 2 points 1 year ago

Käse literally means cheese in German.

[–] tdawg 9 points 1 year ago

Unsure of the year, more like

Very fitting that my birthday (tomorrow) is in that middle period since that's basically me throughout the year 😄

Though technically the latter one is also fitting 🤷

[–] Viking_Hippie 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks! Turned out it wasn't, though. Got Legionaire's disease and spent most of my birthday groaning, sleeping or groaning on the toilet. Not a big fan of being 41 so far..

Happy Birthday Today!
